The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a thrilling World Series that will be remembered for decades to come, becoming the first back-to-back champions MLB has seen in 25 years. As they clinched their third championship in six years, the categorization of this current Dodgers team as a dynasty has become a hot topic, with the baseball world divided on the issue.

All-Star third baseman Max Muncy recently addressed this debate, sharing his thoughts on how he believes his team should be remembered and whether they have cemented their status as a dynasty.

“I guess so,” Muncy said. The slugger is one of six Dodgers who have played on all three of the team’s championship squads in the 2020s.

He added that, beyond the rings and the on-field success, he is most proud of what the organization has built behind the scenes. “The thing that I’m most proud of is the culture that we have created,” Muncy explained. “I hope that’s what’s talked about the most.”

Muncy’s contributions were pivotal during the World Series, particularly in Game 7. He delivered the first of three clutch home runs that propelled the Dodgers into baseball immortality. With one out in the top of the eighth inning and trailing 4-2, Muncy launched a home run that energized his team and cut down the deficit.

This momentum set the stage for another memorable moment in the ninth inning. Miguel Rojas, who hadn’t recorded a hit in a calendar month and hadn’t hit a home run since September 19, came through with a crucial one-out home run. His season-saving blast sent the game into extra innings.

However, the dramatic turnaround was not without its tension. Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto entered the game in the bottom of the ninth inning with two runners on base and one out. Two pitches later, Yamamoto hit Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk, loading the bases.

Yamamoto managed to generate a ground ball for a force out at home in an extremely close call. On the very next pitch, a risky fly out was tracked down by Andy Pages, who had entered the game after the bases were loaded.

The third clutch home run came in the 11th inning from All-Star catcher Will Smith, further securing the Dodgers’ lead. The game—and the series—ended shortly after on a game-ending double play by Mookie Betts.

With this victory, the Dodgers have officially etched their place in baseball history.
